IS THERE ANY HOPE?
NEW AND IMPORTANT OPINIONS OF
PULMONARY EXPERTS!
Can the Universal Consumption
be Successfully Treated?

DIR. Borgeon, a leading French
doctor, has new treatment for con-
SUMPTION =.
He gives an enema Of carbonic acid
and sulphuretted hydrogen gases, the
latter gas carving the former into
every part of the throat and lungs.
This treatment, too, is directed at
efects-the cause remains undls-
turbed.
What this cause is has been stated
by perhaps the highest pulmonary
authority in the world, !. e., the
Brompton Hospital for Consump-
tives, IN London, Eng.
This malady every year carries OF
from one-seventh to one-fifth of the
entire population of England!
DIR, Payne, NJ. D., NJ. K. c. P, Lon
don, is authority for this statement.
The same or a greater proportion of
deaths obtains in America.
DR.. Payne also Says that one-half
the total number of deaths from all
other causes have seeds OF this disease
in the system which only require
some irritant to develop!
DIR. Hermann Brehmer, an eminent
German authority, says that con-
sumption is caused by deficient nutri-
ton of the lungs, by poor blood.
These authorities cannot be dis
puted. The medical world recognizes
them. The uric acid is the irritant
in the blood that causes the develop
ment of the seeds which DR.. Brehmer
says lie dormant in the blood.
Every particle of blood which
passes through the lungs and heart,
also goes through the kidneys, and if
they are in the least deranged they
cannot rid the blood of its killing
poison. The thousand little hair
like sewer tubes of the kidneys very
easily get blocked up and diseased /;
and when they do, they corrupt in
stead of purifying the blood. Kidney
disease may exist, and yet no pain &C.
cur in that organ, because it is def
cient in nerves of sensation.
Dip your finger in acid every day
and it soon testers and is destroyed.
Send acid poisoned blood through
the lungs every second, and they
soon give way.
The Brompton Hospital investiga-
ton showed that 50 per cent. of the
victims of consumption were af-
ficted with deranged kidneys, which
permitted the uric acid poison to re-
main in the blood and irritate the
lungs. This uric acid is always fight
ing every vital organ, and if there be
any inherent weakness in the lungs
it inevitably causes pneumonia, cough
and consumption.
The real cause of pulmonary
troubles being so authoritatively
shown to be faulty even though I'M
suspected action of the kidneys, ex-
plains why, in order to master the
dreaded consumption, one must rid
the blood of the uric acid irritant
which infames and burns up the
lung substance. For this purpose
there is nothing equal to that great
specific, Warmers safe cure. This
remedy has now the favor of medical
men all over the world purely on its
merits. We have no doubt that if
the kidneys are kept in natural action,
consumption and a great many other
diseases, caused by uric-acid, will not
only be cured but will be prevented.
When the kidney is healthy, no
albumen appears in the water, but
albumen is found in the water of more
than half of those who die with. con-
SUMPTION! ans 90
This, then, is the condition of
things that always precedess con-
sumption First, weakened kidneys;
&c cond, retained uric acid, poisoning
the blood; third, the development Of
disease in the lungs by the irritant
acids passing through them. Then
there is little cough in the morning;
soon thick, yellow matter is spit up,
followed by loss of flesh and strength,
with dreadful night sweats J; and
when the patient goes to his school
physician for help, he is put on cod
liver oil which his stomach, weakened
also by uric acid in the blood, cannot
digest. Because there is no pain
present in the kidneys, the patient
does not think they are affected, but
the kidney acid is doing its work every
minute, every hour, day and night,
and by-and-by the disease of the
lungs has advanced until pus is de-
veloped, then come .hemorrhages,
and at last the CLASSY stare which de-
notes that the end is near!
A post-mortem examination OF such
cases shows that the terrible uric
acid has completely destroyed the
of the lung.
It is impossible TO cure lung
disease when'the blood is poisoned
with uric acid.
